From the author of the phenomenally popular
Crazy Rich Asians comes a hilarious and fresh satire about the high class, the low class, and the rich with no class. Kevin Kwan's dishy romp,
Lies and Weddings, follows the brouhaha surrounding a royal wedding on the Hawaiian islands--nuptials first thrown for a loop when a volcanic fissure opens in the middle of the ceremony site. What follows is a class-driven comedy of errors to make Jane Austen proud, complete with a pregnancy mix-up, misguided matchmaking, and a debauched heir.
In
Lies and Weddings, everyone behaves to the standard Kwan's fans have come to expect--wearing couture from epically curated closets, globetrotting with the casual air of someone walking into the next room, and dealing out deadly insults in only the poshest, politest tones. It's a delicious escapist tale with a soupçon of social criticism and a dash of true love overcoming obstacles--all told with the chattiness of a gossip columnist.
